Church of Our Lady, Queen of Poland in Kraków (Kobierzyńska Street)

The Church of Our Lady, Queen of Poland stands in Kobierzyn, in the Dębniki district, at ulica Kobierzyńska 199. It began as a military chapel.

From garrison chapel to parish

In 1909-1911 the 8th Uhlan Regiment stationed in Kobierzyn built a garrison chapel for itself to a design described in the sources as Klimczok's. By a decree of 3 May 1934, Archbishop Adam Stefan Sapieha separated a new parish from the parish of St Joseph in Podgórze, covering the whole village of Kobierzyn. He made the existing branch chapel a parish church and gave it the patronage of Our Lady, Queen of Poland.

Extension

In 1997-2000 the church was extended. The former military chapel is therefore today part of a larger church.

Nearby

It is about three kilometres from here to the Divine Mercy Sanctuary in Łagiewniki.
